Gen. Powell served as the first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and was appointed secretary of state by President George W. Bush. A four-star general, his numerous awards include two Presidential Medals of Freedom. He is the author of a best-selling autobiography, "My American Journey." Gen. Powell's second book, an instant New York Times best-seller titled "It Worked For Me," reveals the lessons that shaped his life and career. As someone who articulated the U.S. position on the world stage, he provides insight on efforts to stabilize a troubled world and the diplomatic and leadership skills needed to transform unstable regions into areas where societies and cultures flourish.

Gen. Powell is scheduled to give his remarks on Wednesday, April 3, at 12 p.m.
